and in particular it is not kermit (or the ftp server code) that is
choosing the port number; the tcp protocol stack provided by the system
makes the choice. this can often be configured to use a particular range,
e.g., some systems use 1024 and above, others will use only the dynamic
range (49152 to 65535), while still others use a range selected by the
system administration. so perhaps the client can be tuned to use something
which the firewall admins will find more appealing.
